Enderby Outside

Front Cover
Heinemann, 1968 - False personation - 243 pages
Enderby, now called (after his mother) Hogg, is presented in this sequel as a barman in a big London Hotel. Unexpectedly the poetic gift returns. Moreover, Hogg seems to be involved in the assassination of a famous pop-singer, and this forces him to flee, resuming - since it is in his passport - his old identity. He discovers, on a flight to Tangier, that his betrayer Rawcliffe (who stole the plot of a narrative poem and turned it into a horror film) seems to be the patron of beach-cafe in that exotic resort. If Enderby is to put away for mudering a pop-singer, he might as well murder Rawcliffe also.

About the author (1968)

Anthony Burgess was born in 1917 in Manchester, England. He studied language at Xaverian College and Manchester University. He had originally applied for a degree in music, but was unable to pass the entrance exams. Burgess considered himself a composer first, one who later turned to literature. Burgess' first novel, A Vision of Battlements (1964), was based on his experiences serving in the British Army. He is perhaps best known for his novel A Clockwork Orange, which was later made into a movie by Stanley Kubrick. In addition to publishing several works of fiction, Burgess also published literary criticism and a linguistics primer. Some of his other titles include The Pianoplayers, This Man and Music, Enderby, The Kingdom of the Wicked, and Little Wilson and Big God. Burgess was living in Monaco when he died in 1993.
